Assured Shorthold Tenancy -

Description: - Cleavers is possibly one of the oldest surviving properties in the town. Behind an 18th century faade, which gives little clue to the scale and style of the original structure, lies a sixteenth century cottage of exceptional charm and historical interest. Although now comprehensively refurbished and well presented the property has been little altered over the years and includes much of the original timber framework, plaster panels and door frames. Hand-crafted painted cabinets of excellent quality have enhanced the principal rooms. Of particular note is the wealth of structural timbers and beams all of which remain in their original state without stain or paint treatment. The principal rooms are large with good ceiling height and there is a lovely galleried landing, some 20 in length, with cottage window to the garden. Of particular note is the substantial master bedroom with high vaulted ceiling, exposed roof timbers and fireplace. A fitted kitchen with Shaker style painted cabinets has been fitted and the cellar has been converted to create a further reception room with adjoining cloakroom. There is an attractive courtyard garden to the rear. There is no dedicated parking to the property but the free public car park lies within 50 yards of the rear gate.

Watlington - Watlington is reputedly Englands smallest town with its origins dating from the 6th century. The town has a range of sports facilities that embrace football and cricket as well as tennis, squash and bowls. There are good local shops including a first class butcher and delicatessen and some excellent restaurants and pubs. Watlington Primary school and Rainbow Corner day nursery and pre-school have an outstanding ofsted rating and senior education is provided by the well-regarded Icknield Community College. The Chiltern Hills rise above the town and offer some of the finest landscapes in south-east England. There is much on offer here for outdoor enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers as The Icknield Way (Ridgeway National Trail) passes close to the town. Watlington is also the heartland of the re-introduced Red Kite that now soar above the towns roof tops.
